Due to the current pandemic, we have been unable to generate sustaining revenues through our public outreach programs at the Sky Theater Planetarium or the Rafes Urban Astronomy Center.

This revenue sustains and advances our public programs as well as supports our student employees. We are also expecting the academic funding that helps sustain our facilities may also be substantially reduced. Therefore, we are reaching out for your help.

If you are one of the many people who have experienced our exciting, immersive Sky Theater shows or gazed at the universe through one of our telescopes during famous Star Parties , please donate to the Sky Theater Fund TODAY!

Help us to preserve what "D" magazine once called, "The best place for North Texans to explore the universe!"
